Ah, the ARM chip. ARM is a hugely successful architecture, and can be found in just about every cell phone or other small device out there. ARM, however, wants more, and for a long time now we've been hearing predictions about an upcoming massive rise in ARM netbooks - so far, this hasn't materialised. Warren East, ARM's CEO, said in an interview with PC Pro that netbooks could one day make up 90% of the laptop market - preferably powered by ARM processors of course.

Oh, and I highly recommend tracking down the film/dramatisation/documentary “Micro Men” http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1459467/ It’s about the early history of British home computing and it’s great for Acorn / Sinclair fans.
